Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Conditions
Brief summary
This study is designed to determine whether subjects who were responders to cNEP during an overnight sleep lab titration in a previous clinical trial, Study SOM-012, will maintain a response throughout the night for up to two weeks in a home setting. It will also be determined whether two weeks of home use of cNEP is associated with any adverse events.
Interventions
continuous negative external pressure will be applied to the anterior neck at night

Inclusion criteria
* must have completed study SOM-012 and been categorized as a responder * the subject agrees to participation by signing an informed consent statement
